![]() Longer lead time items now ordered are not critical for initial plant production start-up. Of 40 pumps and motors evaluated, including major pumps, 30 are being rebuilt and refurbished on site mitigating some supply chain risks. A thorough equipment evaluation determined 90% of the piping and valves are operational with limited maintenance requirements. The Alta Mesa Central Processing Plant (CPP) is advancing towards a restart of production and presently completing minor scheduled renovations with equipment upgrades and refurbishments underway. The water level is located approximately 120 feet below surface. The Company has identified five saturated (required for ISR), mineralized sandstone horizons within the Goliad Formation lying approximately 400 to 520 feet below the surface. Of these holes, 14 are being cased as injection wells and 14 as recovery wells while further refined delineation drilling within the PAA continues to establish the exact pattern of injection and recovery wells from which to maximize production efficiency.Īll intercepts are located in the PAA-7 at Alta Mesa, which hosts mineralization within the Goliad Formation. Further drilling along trend will continue to delineate this new mineralized sand and is likely to increase the overall mineralization within PAA-7. The drilling program has encountered unexpected significant grade in the Middle C unit underlying PAA-7, with grade thicknesses multiplied by the thickness of the mineralization at or above the cutoff value] ranging from 0.481 to 1.888 in 4 of the holes. The Middle C unit, a productive sand, essential for ISR, in PAA-3 was not previously known to be mineralized under PAA-7. The wellfield drilling operations, within Production Authorization Area 7 (PAA), which commenced in March 2023, are advancing rapidly with 81 holes drilled to date with drilling delineating the roll front mineralization within PAA-7. Presently there are 6 drill rigs working at Alta Mesa with a 7 th rig to be added shortly. The Company also announces continuing positive results from the wellfield delineation drill program and a newly discovered mineralized zone at the Alta Mesa wellfield. This follows the previously announced (EU News Release - March 15, 2023) formal production decision for the resumption of uranium production in early 2024. (NYSE American: EU) (TSXV: EU) (the " Company" or " enCore") today announced the South Texas Alta Mesa In Situ Recovery("ISR") Uranium Central Processing Plant upgrades and refurbishments are ahead of schedule and under budget. ![]() CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, /CNW/ - enCore Energy Corp.
